Gastown Loft 21 120 Powell Street, Vancouver, BC

Luxurious boutique New York style loft in Gastown. Pilkington House, the envy of every loft in Gastown is the most respected restored heritage building containing only 6 massive units and home to a sophisticated demographic of professional residents. This unparalleled single level loft boasts almost 2700 square feet of indoor space and a rooftop to soak up the sun. Unlived in since the $150,000 renovation and upgrade, loft 21 at 120 Powell Street features polished concrete floors, original exposed brick (circa 1910) and 9.5 foot ceilings throughout the entire home. The incredibly large and open living room which is 25 x 24 feet can easily accommodate the largest furniture, features 3 open pivot windows, a gas fireplace, plenty of wall space for the art collector and the exposed brick creates immense character. The top of the line and extremely sleek kitchen, which is fit for any gourmet chef, boasts granite counters, Kohler double sink with industrial spray nozzle, a Jenn air stainless double door fridge with lower roll out freezer and stainless wine fridge, a $3800 Miele built in coffee maker, a Jenn Air Cook Top, 2 wall mounted Jenn Air ovens with warming drawer, a GE dishwasher, no slam drawers, custom cabinets with glass doors and glass shelves. Furthermore, off the kitchen is an extremely convenient 4 by 8 pantry to store all your staples. Next to the kitchen is the formal dining area that is large enough to accommodate a table for over 10 dinner guests. The massive 16 x 18 foot master bedroom, with all its natural light, has plenty of space for a king sized bed and furnishings and boasts a glamorous unsuited and an enormous customized 12 foot deep walk in closet that would make Carrie Bradshaw jealous. Relax at the end of the day in your own insuite 2 person radiant health sauna, or take a dip in either of the two oversized jetted bathtubs - the ensuite boasts a separate surround shower in ensuite. A sizeable 2nd bedroom or guest room also has natural light and abundant storage and should you need a 3rd bedroom, the 10 x 12 office could be converted to another bedroom. With all the top of the line appliances, this home would not be complete without the amazing laundry room which also boasts a Maytag Neptune washer and a Maytag Personal Drycleaner. With an adjacent grassed courtyard there is plenty of natural light in every room and with two separate entrances this loft is perfect for entertaining or a home office. This amazing Gastown boutique loft building has only 2 units per floor, and this home comes with 2 secured underground parking stalls. There have been only 2 sales since 1991, creating an established strata with very little turnover. This is certainly a unique space that needs to be seen to be appreciated.
